The club needs to be deregistered to allow a Tassie team into the competition.

Exactly - the real miscreants haven't paid the full price unlike the players

I know what you're saying but the pressure to conform in a footy club must be immense especially when you are reassured by the footy dept that all is above board and the likes of Doc Reid says nothing. As a medico myself I am disgusted by his lack of intervention. I can't help but think the players were placed in a no win situation - a bit like an army private disobeying the orders of a general.

Maybe I'm naive but I think the players were victims of Tirds malfeasance.

I think Watson has shown a lot of class right throughout. He's done the right thing and has allowed himself to move on. I wish Turd could be stripped of his medal and be banned from the Hall of Fame.

How naughty of them

That's about the long and the short of it.

Or we supplement him.

Here we go - the Dons getting a lend of themselves saying pick 27 won't get the deal done. Stuff them they should take what they're given. Hope we play hard ball.

Coming along very nicely. It will be great to have him in the side with Salem, as our distributors

As an aside that goal review was one of the worst decisions I've seen - that third umpire should be banished. The decision went against all the principles of a review .

Spoil sport.

I'm liking this bloke more and more.

Great attitude, good size and looks to know how to get the footy and then use it. Can't wait to see him with Petracca and Vanders

Looks like Cale Morton

He'll be a star when he hits puberty

it doesn't make sense comparing Cotchin to Jones - very different types of players. In terms of value to his side on a week to week basis I'd choose Chunk any day of the week.

I was a bit surprised when Lloyd on Footy Classified said that the Dees wouldn't be disadvantaged because Melksham is just a depth player. I don't think that is how we see it- you don't give depth players 4 year contracts. Smacks of sour grapes to me. Lloyd hasn't disconnected enough from Essendrug to provide credible commentary

looks to have it all - good hands, speed and agility, good kick on both sides. May well have been the reason we cashed in next years pick. Can't wait to see Sam and Hogan together on our forward line. Delicious!

For Gods sake........

Looks like Caitlin Jenner

Shaun needed Grecian 2000 when he was playing for us.

He's got a good boot and looks balanced. Plenty to like. Considering pick 25 in this draft looks likely to be a lottery, not a bad deal.

Dodoro should take his hand off it.

I think it it is best to hold fire until the end of the draft. It seems to me a trade can't be judged in isolation so let's look at the total package before getting too carried away. I am sure there is good reason for what's being done and that there are many subplots and twists being played out. Happy to just sit back and watch what unfolds.
